Your graphic design should contain design elements, including line, shape, texture and size. A line is a curved or straight mark that connects two points. Shape is a form that has height and width. The three basic primitive shapes are rectangle, circle and triangle. Texture is measured by look and feel. It is basically roughness or smoothness of surface. Space refers to area or distance between or around things. The size refers to how large or small thing is.

The principle of composition and layout includes emphasis of elements, balance or equal distribution of weight, pattern or rhythm, and unity or relationship between each element.

Decide on what perspective to use. There are four basic perspectives; one point perspective, two-point perspective, three point perspective, and 3d illusion.

For text, consider type of font and style you have to use. There must be consistency in height and width of letters.

Be more creative. Make use of theories. Follow rules in designing. You will know that a design is effective if you have successfully communicated your idea to your target audience.

The Transform effect is used for rotation and scaling, although other supported application already contains this ability. It also allows you to translate and skew your image with sub-pixel accuracy. In Au Naturel, scaled images are more detailed and sharper. It gives you high quality transformations.

Au Naturel has most unique compositing tools. Compositing linear RGB with each alpha channel is allowed. To simulate interactions of lights in scene, each color channel must have alpha channel. This is basically balancing of color to create right light for scene. Just like in actual filming, you need to adjust light that is appropriate for scene.

The time lapse effect is blurring of image temporarily. This effect produces light streak on bright objects and softer areas for localized motion.

The Au Naturel collection contains adjustable channels to produce more powerful and natural effect. It is compatible with Adobe After Effects, Apple’s Final Cut Pro and other programs.
